Adam Ehrlich Sachs has published two standalone novels so far. The Organs of Sense (2019) is set in 17th-century Europe and follows an investigation into a blind astronomer who predicted a solar eclipse. Gretel and the Great War (2024) takes place during World War I. Both are short, inventive books that mix historical settings with philosophical questions.
The two novels are not connected by plot or characters, so they can be read in any order. Sachs is a writer who takes his time between books, and each one is carefully constructed. Readers who enjoy literary fiction that plays with form and asks unusual questions will find a lot to appreciate here.
